Description: THIS PORTION CONTAINS THE AUDIO-ANIMATRONIC GIVING THE GETTYSBURGH ADDRESS. In 2001 "The Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" closed again and reopened later in the same year as the new, third version of the attraction. "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" was in its fifth iteration. This version was quite different from the previous versions. The entrance, preshow, postshow, and exit were refurbished and redesigned to serve as the both the preshow and prologue to "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln". Guests are introduced to American Civil War photographer Mathew Brady, and they assume the role of a fictitious Union soldier named John Cunningham. Guests then enter the main theater where they wear special earphones or headsets using binaural sound technology. Cunningham meets Brady in his photo studio, receives a haircut, goes back to battle, and eventually is wounded, but is able to meet President Abraham Lincoln and hear the Gettysburg Address in person. At this point, the curtains open to reveal Lincoln standing on the stage. For this version the entire set was completely redone, with little to no reference to the previous versions of "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln". The 1984 Audio-Animatronic Abraham Lincoln remained the same, simply refurbished and reworked and now wearing eyeglasses. A new narrator was hired to provide the voice of Lincoln. Lincoln now performs only the Gettysburg Address, not the collection of speeches given at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair and in previous versions of the show. The current show concentrates on the American Civil War, not on a series of moving or emotional speeches Lincoln used to present to guests in the main theater. On February 20, 2005, "The Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" closed in order to be replaced with a temporary show and exhibit called Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years, which was a series of exhibits and a main theater film presented by Steve Martin and an animated Donald Duck. The film takes guests through Disneyland's 50 years of existence. It was part of Disneyland's and the Disney Company's Happiest Homecoming on Earth 50th anniversary celebration that lasted from May 5, 2005 to September 30, 2006. Now that the celebration is over, "Disneyland: The First 50 Magic Years" remains in place. The Disney Company has reported that the show will eventually close and be replaced with "The Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln." Whether this version of the attraction will be the 2001 version, a new version, or a previous rendition or version remains unknown, nor is there any certainty that the show will come back disneyland disneyland disneyland disney's california adventure disney's california adventure adventureland tomorrowland fantasyland toontown magic kingdom animal epcot frontierland vintage retired yesterland old home movies great moments lincoln main street usa cinema star tours space mountain honey i shrunk the audience captain eo peoplemover mission to mars america sings innoventions skyway autopia carousel of progress matterhorn bobsleds alice in wonderland pinocchio's daring journey peter pan's flight snow white's scary adventure disneyland youtube poop circarama american journeys tokyo disneyseas disneyland disneyland disneyland disney's california adventure disney's california adventure adventureland tomorrowland fantasyland toontown magic kingdom animal epcot frontierland vintage retired yesterland old home movies great moments lincoln main street usa cinema star tours space mountain honey i shrunk the audience captain eo peoplemover mission to mars america sings innoventions skyway autopia carousel of progress matterhorn bobsleds alice in wonderland pinocchio's daring journey peter pan's flight snow white's scary adventure disneyland youtube poop circarama american journeys tokyo disneyseas

Description: This show is about the then "New Tomorrowland" of 1967, showing some of the new attractions they added in 1967, including some of the "BEST" Disneyland attractions that are now retired, but still loved by many. The show includes Mickey Mouse wearing a space suit in front of the People Mover, with the updated 1967-97 Rocket Jets. Very nostalgic and gives a glimpse of fashion and atmosphere during the heyday times of Disneyland at it's best

Description: THE SUBS ARE BACK! GO BEHIND-THE-SCENES AND INTO THE LAGOON! Walt Disney Imagineers are re-surfacing Walt's original fleet of eight submarines with state-of-the-art technology that immerses guests in a 3-D undersea world of Finding Nemo. See how they used recycled glass to produce vibrate ocean colors, learn how they made the subs environmentally friendly and how they took animation from Disney-Pixar's blockbuster animated film "Finding Nemo" and made it come to life underwater. The classic Disney attraction that opened in 1959 and retired in 1998 will be a multi-generational experience as parents and grandparents fondly remember the original subs, while younger guests get up close with their favorite "Finding Nemo" characters.
